Cafe Pesto

About this business

Do not let the name fool you, this is no simple cafe. It is one of the most highly rewarded, oft-mentioned restaurants on the island of Hawai'i. Serving a unique fusion of Pacific Basin and Continental cuisines, this place is perfect for a memorable occasion. The decor is simple. The food, on the other hand, is marvelously complex. Signature items include the Wok-Fired Shrimp and Scallops, Chili Grilled Shrimp Pizza and the Island Seafood Risotto. There is another location on the West Side, Kohala Coast.

Great food, not great service. The waiter was condescending, the table was small and overwhelmed by a potted palm. Seated right next to a screaming baby. Most likely will not try it again.

Great food. Light on my stomach. I loved their balsamic vinegrette as well.

The Catch of the day salad and the Grilled Poke salad where Very tasty but I expected a hand made crust for the pizza, texture and taste, Strait out of the freezer!

Came in for dessert and after dinner drink and caught the last of a very nice guitar duet. The lilikoi cheesecake was delectable and the sweet bread pudding with baileys on the side was pure heaven. Can't wait to go back for dinner! Service was fabulous. I think we were our servers last table and she treated us like it was her first.

I loved it. Had to go back before leaving Hilo for the second time and was not disappointed. My next visit to Hilo you will be my first choice when eating out. Mahalo and Aloha
